Jacob Richard Bøggild Strabo

I am a third-year PhD student in the Department of Economics at the University of Copenhagen, currently preparing for the 2025–26 academic job market. My research combines theory with empirical analysis in microeconomics, with a particular focus on labor markets, education, and political elections.

Alongside my research, I have had the privilege of teaching and supervising students in the Economics program at the University of Copenhagen. I have been fortunate to engage in the public debate and policy discussions, and during the 2024–25 academic year was so fortunate to visit the University of Oxford.

At the core of my work lies a curiosity about who gains access to opportunities in society. This curiosity has guided my research on labor market outcomes, educational sorting and access, as well as a project on the allocation of seats in political election
